Mulled Cranberry Juice Recipes

MULLED CRANBERRY COCKTAIL

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the juice, cinnamon stick, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of water and heat over medium-low heat, gently stirring, until the cranberries pop and are well coated with the sugar mixture.
• When cool enough to handle, thread 3 to 4 berries each on 4 decorative toothpicks or skewers. Pour the mulled cranberry juice into 4 mugs and garnish with the cranberry swizzle.

MULLED CRANBERRY PUNCH

Steps:

• Put the rum, cranberry juice, cider, maple syrup, honey, clove and star anise into a large saucepot over medium heat. Cook until a slow simmer is just reached and the honey/maple syrup is dissolved.
• Ladle the punch into heatproof glasses or mugs and garnish with cinnamon sticks.

SLOW COOKER MULLED CRANBERRY CIDER

Steps:

• Add all ingredients (except rum, if using) to the Crock Pot, and cook on high for about an hour and a half, or low for about three hours. Switch the Crock Pot to the warm setting, and it's ready to serve when you're ready to drink! You can also warm this in the stovetop. Let simmer very gently, covered, for about 30 minutes.
• Ladle the cider into mugs (leaving the fruit in the Crock Pot). I like to throw another cinnamon stick in there for good measure. Those nice long cinnamon sticks that double as a stirrer would work even better.
• Oh right, the rum! Add a shot of rum to your glass before you ladle in the cider, if you are rum-inclined.
